Shameful

Proverbs 25:21-22 (NLT)

²¹ If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.
      If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
²² You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads,
      and the LORD will reward you.

 

Here’s a way to “shame” our enemies – TURN THE OTHER CHEEK!

Anyone can be nice to people who are nice; but only Christ-infused people can be nice to their enemies.

Who's your enemy?  In what way have you radically turned the other cheek?

 

// When I have been given the opportunity, I’d like to be nice to my enemies.  Only by God’s enabling grace will it help me to do this.  I know how hard this will be when the actual time comes, but I also know that if Christ has endured the cross, I can also endure this and be victorious later.  I will look ahead of the joy instead of the pain at the moment.  I WILL BE VICTORIOUS. 

 

// Lord, I embrace Your grace right now.  I just pray that You would help me to really be radical in my responses when I have been given the opportunity to show my Christ-infused lifestyle.  I want to give glory to You in all that I do.  May You just help me in my decisions and choices that I will bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, amen.
